- W2065256265 abstract "The Predatory Bird Monitoring Scheme (PBMS; http://pbms.ceh.ac.uk/) is the umbrellaproject that encompasses the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology’s National Capabilitycontaminant monitoring and surveillance work on avian predators. By monitoring sentinelvertebrate species, the PBMS aims to detect and quantify current and emerging chemicalthreats to the environment and in particular to vertebrate wildlife.Lead (Pb) is a highly toxic metal that acts as a non-specific poison affecting all body systemsand has no known biological requirement. Sources of Pb in the environment include leadmining, the refining and smelting of lead and other metals, the manufacture and use of alkyllead fuel additives, and the use of lead ammunition.The present study is the first year of a PBMS monitoring programme to quantify the scale ofexposure to (and associated risk from) Pb in predatory birds. The aim is to quantify theextent of exposure to lead (as assessed from liver residues) in two predatory bird species, thered kite (Mivus milvus) and the sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus). The red kite is a scavengerand, as such, is particularly at risk from consumption of Pb ammunition in unretrieved game.Sparrowhawks prey predominantly upon live passerine birds that are unlikely to be shot inthe UK; likely sources of exposure are diffuse Pb contamination although some individualsmay also be exposed to Pb particles ingested by their prey. We also examined the liver Pbisotope ratios in order to explore whether they can be used to ascribe likely sources of any Pbdetected in the birds.Red kites had significantly higher Pb concentration than those measured in sparrowhawks butthe majority of sparrowhawks and all the red kites had liver Pb concentrations below thosethought to cause clinical and sub-clinical adverse effects in Falconiforme species. There wasoverlap in the liver Pb isotope ratios of red kites and sparrowhawks yet also some evidence ofseparation between the two species, but more data are needed to confirm this. There was alsoevidence of overlap with the isotope signature for coal and for Pb shot but the isotopesignatures in the bird livers were distinct from that of petrol Pb. The Pb isotope patternobserved in the red kites and sparrowhawks in the current study may reflect the fact that liverPb concentrations were low in the small sample of birds that were analysed and may havebeen a result of exposure to low-level, diffuse contamination." @default.
